After the very successful
Ring from Valencia, here is another spectacular staging by La Fura
dels Baus, this time conducted by Valery Gergiev. This monumental
opera complete with ballets, large choruses and orchestral set
pieces was recorded at Valencia’s Palau de les Arts in 2009.
Great singers: Daniela Barcellona as “breathtaking
Dido” (Opernglas), Lance Ryan, Elisabete Matos

"Ancient myth meets Star
Wars, and the eye is constantly engaged with images ranging from
space-age technology to details of soccer uniforms." The New
York Times

"This is a worthy and
compelling, glittering version of a sublime work."
International Herald Tribune
